I contested a PROD on this which said "Appears to be the biography of a person who does not meet WP:BIO interspersed with text pasted from Ibrahim al-Makadmeh". The article does claim he played an important leadership role in Hamas and suggests that Israel found him of sufficient note to target individually, and so I just thought it needs a discussion rather than a PROD. (If it is kept, it'll need some serious cleanup). -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 13:46, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I should have also said that I've done a little Google searching and couldn't really find much, but it's always tricky with the transliteration of Arabic names and possible alternative spellings. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:06, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Unless sources are given. Marokwitz (talk) 07:40, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I also couldn't find anything on this guy on Google books or the web, however as the nominator stated this is often difficult with Arabic names. However in its current form the subject appears to lack "significant independent coverage" in reliable sources and therefore fails the general notability guideline.

- Speedy Delete - No independent notability established by use of reliable sources. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 00:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Lack of sources is not a valid Speedy Deletion reason. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:11, 6 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I think he referred to WP:BLP, and though this individual is deceased, the importance of proper referencing is still a paramount consideration (though not a speedy, like you say). bahamut0013wordsdeeds 15:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: no references, poorly written, seems to have a POV issue. bahamut0013wordsdeeds 15:57, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: none of the information is verified and the subject as a whole doesn't appear to meet the requirements for signficant coverage per WP:GNG. AustralianRupert (talk) 22:46, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
